Access answers to RD Sharma Solutions Class 10 Maths Chapter 6 Exercise 6.1- Important Question with Answers

Prove the following trigonometric identities :
Question 1.
(1 – cos² A) cosec² A = 1
Solution:
(1 – cos² A) cosec² A = 1
L.H.S. = (1 – cos² A) cosec² A = sin² A cosec² A (∵ 1 – cos² A = sin² A)
= (sin A cosec A)² = (l)² = 1 = R.H.S. {sin A cosec A = 1 }

Question 2.
(1 + cot² A) sin² A = 1
Solution:
(1 + cot² A) sin² A = 1
L.H.S. = (1 + cot² A) (sin² A)
= cosec² A sin² A {1 + cot² A = cosec² A}
= [cosec A sin A]²
= (1)²= 1 = R.H.S. (∵ sin A cosec A = 1

Solution:

Question 53.

Solution:

Question 54.
sin² A cos² B – cos² A sin² B = sin² A – sin² B.
Solution:
L.H.S. = sin² A cos² B – cos² A sin² B
= sin² A (1 – sin² B) – (1 – sin² A) sin² B
= sin² A – sin² A sin² B – sin² B + sin² A sin² B
= sin² A – sin² B
Hence, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Prove the following identities: (58-75)
Question 58.
If x = a sec θ + b tan θ and y = a tan θ + b sec θ, prove that x¹ – y² = a² – b¹. [C.B.S.E. 2001, 20O2C]
Solution:
x – a sec θ + b tan θ
y = a tan θ + b sec θ
Squaring and subtracting, we get
x²-y² = {a sec θ + b tan θ)² – (a tan θ + b sec θ)²
= (a² sec² θ + b² tan²  θ + 2ab sec θ x tan θ) – (a² tan²  θ + b² sec²  θ + 2ab tan θ sec θ)
= a² sec² θ + b tan²  θ + lab tan θ sec θ – a² tan²  θ – b² sec²  θ – 2ab sec θ tan θ
= a² (sec² θ – tan²  θ) + b² (tan²  θ – sec²  θ)
= a² (sec² θ – tan²  θ) – b² (sec²  θ – tan²  θ)
= a² x 1-b² x 1 =a²-b² = R.H.S.

Solution:

Question 80.
If a cos θ + b sin θ = m and a sin θ – b cos θ = n, prove that a² + b² = m² + n²
Solution:

Question 81.
If cos A + cos² A = 1, prove that sin² A + sin⁴ A = 1
Solution:
cos A + cos² A = 1
⇒ cos A = 1 – cos² A
⇒cos A = sin² A
Now, sin² A + sin⁴ A = sin² A + (sin² A)²
= cos A + cos² A = 1 = R.H.S.
